If anyone could have been in the room with her they'd have been horrified.

The constant screaming, the snapping of bones and the blood would have turned anyone's stomach but no one was there with Harrie as the door wouldn't open.

Draco staggered out of his bedroom and down the hall. He'd been feeling twitchy all day and now he knew why she was awakening.
The pain in the back of his mind was far less than what she must be feeling. His wings throbbed in remembrance of his own transformation.

He finally reached his parents room and banged on the door.

"What's wrong dragon?" His father asked as the door was opened.
"She's ...pain..soon...here.." He panted. Lucius took Draco's shoulders and steered him to the bed making him sit.

"Try and reach her darling your mental connection can make it easier for her"
"Mmkay" he mumbled absentmindedly while following the link.

He coaxed her closer into his mind and wrapped her in a mental embrace cooing to her.

4am

The pain finally stopped and Harrie slipped into a deep sleep.

Unbeknownst to her the door opened and three worried guardians burst in Severus in the lead they all stopped short when they saw her.

She was lying on her front with huge great wings resting at awkward angles mainly hiding her from view.
The wings would have been snowy white at the top fading to midnight black and the bottom if they were clean but at that moment they were covered in a gross kind of afterbirth. The skin around the joints were raw and tender.
If they men could have seen under the wings they'd find a few other changes.

Severus was the first to snap out of his stupor and after Draco's transformation was prepared for wings.
He quickly moved forward and cast a cleaning spell on the feathers bringing the wings to their full splendour.
Muttering to himself about how if he'd known then his precious girl wouldn't have had to go through such pain he cast healing charms on the joints till there was barely any redness. He also cast a cleaning charm on the vest top she was wearing that thankfully sat just under the new appendages removing all the drying blood.

Satisfied he stepped back smiling at her of course she had to have a type of wings he'd never heard of though he was sure they'd suit her best.
One of the wings stretched out nearly knocking him over. The sudden movement seemed to break the others from their stupor.
"Bird" Sirius stated stupidly.
"Wha? Hmm? How?" Questioned Remus not that much more intelligently.

"It seems we have a veela in the family"
"But how isn't it hereditary?"
"Hmm yes but that's a puzzle for the morning."
Their attention was drawn again by more movement tho this shocked all three of them more than before.

Harrie had moved her wings so one was straight up against the wall revealing the rest of her.
Severus had never heard of a veela transformation like this.

Other than red smudges all over the bedding and her pyjama shorts there was ha dark spot in the centre of them and a dark brown nearly black furry tail wrapped around one of her legs. Severus's eyes scanned up and he noticed there was something wrong with het hair too. Drawing closer he saw the strands were clumped and wet touching it he noticed it was blood so he parted the hair to find the source and found a furry cat ear.

What the?! She's a cat bird? What about her normal ears?
Moving her hair he found a few ridges that looked like they used to be an ear but were no more than slight bumps and it seemed like hair was starting to grow over them so they barely be visible soon.

He straightened up and cleaned and healed the other wounds.
"She hasn't got whiskers too has she?" Sirius squeaked.

Uncovering her face he shook his head but she looked more grown up and like her mother than before.
"We should let her sleep and help her cope in the morning."

It was a lovely peaceful morning in Grimauld place the sun was shining, the birds singing and a young girl woke up from the nicest dream about the object of her affections excited about her birthday.
Yes all seemed well until said girl opened her eyes.

First of all I noticed my vision was better than perfect and when compared to the day before it was a big change.
Secondly I noticed my covers were fluffier than last night. Looking down I saw huge great wings.

Now that wonderful peaceful moment was broken rather suddenly, causing the others in the house to sit bolt up right in their beds, was a loud terrified scream.

I leaped out of bed but they just came with me!

"SEEVVV!"

The adults leapt up and legged it to the terrified girls room. The door banging open Remus in the lead this time being used to running with the moon.
"Harrie calm down its ok"
"OK?! OKAY!? HOW IN THE HELL IS THIS OK? WINGS!BLOODY WINGS!"
"HARRIET POTTER CALM DOWN SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS!" Severus bellowed stopping the young girl in her frantic pacing.
"Sev?" I asked timidly "what happened?"
"Course ask the bat" Sirius grumbled though he shut up with a glare from Remus and Severus.
"Harrie love you know Draco came into his inheritance well apparently you have too tho I've never heard of tainting wings a cat tail and ears but we will find out what you are soon and I must say it does suit you. Your beautiful Harrie."
"Yep you'll be fending the blokes off with those feathery appendages" Siri joked brightly.

"Yeah?" They all nodded.
"And I'm going to rack the library we will get to the bottom of it so there are no more surprises and if you haven't looked in the mirror yet your eyes look beautiful too so no more screaming yeah?" Remus said soothingly.
I whirled round and ran to the mirror tail swishing in agitation. I cocked my head to one side.
"They're different but I weirdly like it, and the ears are kinda cute...match my hair too so not that noticeable"

I turned again to see them smiling at her encouragingly.
"Ok I admit it's not the end of the world and hey I can fly without a broom now." They came over and hugged her.

"so do I get presents yet or do I have to wait till after breakfast?"

After pancakes made by Remus Harrie opened her presents.

They'd bought me, five books on healing and potions -Remus- a magically enabled MP3 player and speakers -Sirius- with all her favourite music on it and Severus had gotten her the same dress in three colours as he couldn't decide which she'd like best red, green or purple. They had long tulip sleeves and luckily a low scooping back that had a lattice of strips tied in a bow to hold it together so she'd still be able to wear it with her wings. she decided she'd wear the purple one later.

They spent the rest of the morning watching a movie that Lilly had gotten when they were In their last year and never gotten round to watching. It was called hello dolly and much tho they pretended not to the boys enjoyed it but not as much as Harrie who insisted on singing the songs all the way up the stairs into her room to get dressed.
Getting out my new music player I switched it on and plugged it into the speakers pressing play -Taylor swift shake it off- grinning I start dancing around and singing along as I gets ready.

After putting some makeup on I look at my reflection noting that my hair doesn't really suit me anymore straight long hair suited her more childish face yesterday but now with my new looks it wasn't right glaring at it I tried to think of a hairstyle that might work. Finding one I tried to picture myself with it then cast the spell lavender had taught me.

Opening one eye to check it looked good I beamed. Sadly it was only a temporary glamour but it gave me time to change my mind later.
Slipping the dress on leaving the back and then slipped some small heeled pumps on I turned to look in the mirror.

Earlier I'd noticed my hips and chest were bigger but hadn't mentioned it when everyone was in here as there are things you don't tell your new guardians especially when all three are men.. But I'd noticed alright I'd had to cast a sizing charm on my underwear but it looked like I'd need new ones, more awkward shopping trips in diagonally and London with Siri or maybe she could go with hermione? That'd be ok? But what if I can't hide my wings I've gotta ask dray how he does it or maybe Sev would know..

Shrugging I decided to worry later.
"Now about the laces hmm I think help" sticking my head out the door "is anyone free I can't lace it up?"
"On my way" came Remus's reply appearing from his room he smiled at me.
"You look lovely miss birthday girl but what did you do to your hair?" He asked as he entered my room.
"Does it look that bad?"
"No cub just drastic it suits you fairly well actually" she beams
"It's not permanent it's a glamour one of the girls taught me I'm just trying this look out so I can change my mind if I like without having to take a hair growth potion and that would counter the one on my legs and I'd have to recast that and the others so to save myself work I'm testing things."
"Well I think this ones good hey do you wanna pretend nothing is different and see how long it takes the others to notice?" He asks as he laces the dress around my wings. I giggle my wings flapping a little.
"Hey none of that miss I don't need a blow dry" he teases.
"Ok deal and I couldn't help it I'm not really sure how they work."
"We'll work it out now you need to get down there everyone will be arriving soon maybe you could take this music down there? Just no going in the kitchen."

Remus ensconced himself in the kitchen and warded the door leaving Sev Siri and I to decorate. I'd brought my music down to play in the background.

"So how do we do this?"
"Well depends how tasteful you want it" Sev answered with a pointed look at Siri.
"I can do tasteful!"
"Um tasteful sounds good maybe silver and purple? But like the dark kind you know?"
"Ok mutt can you and Harry change the colour of the soft furnishings?" We nod though Sirius does so with a glare and start to work. I see out of the corner of my eye Severus attaching long pieces of purple fabric to the ceiling in a circle around the light he then picked up the other end of each strip and stuck it to the outer edge.

After we finished Sirius added fairy lights to the swathes of fabric. It was simple yet pretty.
"You know your mum used to do that when we were younger and make a sort of tent in her room filled with cushions to study in during the summer" sev whispered to me.

"You know your dad would tell me there should be some neon orange streamers in here but your mum would hit him for it" he grinned I'm glad you take after your mum coz I swear your dad was colour blind" we laugh.
"Sev what will we tell everyone about my wings and tail I'd hide them if I could but I dunno if I can though."
"Hmm" he casts a spell and my wings turn invisible but I can tell they are still here he does the same with my tail and ears.
"You'll have to be careful not to move your hair" I nod just then the fireplace roars into life with green flames.

If anyone would like to see drawings and pictures I've made/found to go with the story my deviant art account has a whole folder of images some for futurery things it's under the name JLoDucky so go have a gander if I knew what web address would work I'd put one here maybe one of you are bright enough to know?
All your positive feedback makes me giddy and constructive criticism is welcome.
